But the Democrats couldn't have brought that up because they were okay with Obama doing it. Whaddaya mean? They've condemned Trump for continuing Obama's perfectly-acceptable-only-racists-would-criticize policies in several other areas, including immigration. Neither Obama nor the Democrats made th...

He has a valid reason for being upset, that's all I will say about it. People these days simply cannot discuss politics in a sane and rational manner. It devolves into two-year-old slap-fights, with nobody listening to the other. Most forums I still frequent do not allow politics on them for this re...

Why should I bother telling anyone? I wasn't believed then, I won't be now. I'm female, so I clearly did it for attention. I obviously asked for it, dressed the way I was(in teenaged baggy unrevealing clothes with Crystal Gayle length hair mostly covering my face). I'm also ("other"), so I cannot po...

Ok. On my att tablet, in portrait, it shows the poster name on top in a mobile format, rather than on the side. However, typing this reply is no problem. Board index still doesn't show last posted topic/poster in portrait, and as long as my replies are short, it doesn't cutoff in portrait. EDIT: Ha...

Out of curiosity, those that drink Mead and Cider, how to you find them compared to beer? I think the main objection I have to beer is the "drinking liquid bread dough" taste I get from pretty much all of them. The few I do drink on occasion are ones that have the least amount of "bread dough" flavo...

Then there's the whole, "Acid free pages attract bugs" v. "Acid treated pages are light sensitive and degrade faster" debate. Personally, I'd rather keep my library in the shadows when not being read over going to reach for my book only to find it literally being a bug colony(I still have nightmare...

all you ex-military, or otherwise involved in agencies that try to bureaucratize every aspect of life... http://skippyslist.com/2007/07/09/cephalopod-surprise/ There is no such thing as "ex-military". That said, Skippy is a magnificent #@$&@%¢! Having friends and family in the military over the dec...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_HDX - October of 2013. Kindle is still sending security updates to it, which is amazing. Quite possibly the only seller of Android tablets willing to provide updates after five years. I'm working on uploading a screen shot, but my Dragon Touch tablet isn't having ...

The biggest reason that electronics are now 'disposable' is ROHS. Once the solder cracks, they're toast. Lead based solder can last decades, but straight tin cracks in just a few years under thermal stress. Another "Improvement" (Lead Free!) that is worse for the user. "Preservative Free" == "Guara...

The forum ate my posts seven times, so short version: Kindle parent/fangirl here. The parental controls(which are also neat security features) are what keep me loyal. The HDX officially launched in October 2014, mine arrived in 2015, and is still under warranty even though they don't make them any m...

Re-posting here: Testing the forums on a KFHDX7, and this version has a one-inch right-margin cutoff. Makes posting here in portrait mode obnoxious. Is there a way to force it to say, use a permanent desktop mode, as it appears to be automatically selecting the mobile version, which hates my tablet....

I don't think Texas ever really suffered from a lack of third party options in beer. Yes, we didn't have a bazillion microbrews like they have now (St. Arnolds, Karbach, etc, etc), but I can't remember when Shiner, Texas, wasn't producing Shiner Bock. We're fans of St. Arnold's Root beer, not so mu...
